E! News has learned exclusively thatrecent reports saying Simpsonwould be teaming up on a Christmas album with Andrea Bocelli and WillieNelson appear to be only...half true.

Sources confirm that while WillieNelson will appear on the album; Bocelli will not.

Bocelli's rep adds, "We were indeed approached by her management a whileago, but Mr. Bocelli's current recording and performing schedule doesnot allow him to add on new engagements. We told Jessica's managementyesterday that the duet cannot happen. But we all wish her great successwith the Christmas album."

Better luck next Christmas, Jessica! Until then, you got your hunky beau to keep you company. And Willie Nelson, which ain't half-bad as far as we're concerned.
